I know we didn't tab Moser, but it's going to be refreshing to relearn what good defense looks like.

And we’ll have an offense. 9 points in 11 minutes. LUC should be up double digits, not one point.

First to 40 wins. Jesus this game is awful.

Assuming one of these teams gets to 40 feels like a bold prediction.

This is giving me flashbacks to those epically awful MU/SLU games from 2005.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the schedule.  If there is a blowout or a stinker you can't switch to another game.  Maybe both teams will pick it up but that was a brutal 12 mins of hoops.

Imagine what Indiana fans are thinking.*



*I like Moser and would have been perfectly happy with him. But I’d definitely have been feeling a little sick to my stomach right now if Shaka hadn’t been announced yesterday.

Thomson could easily take over this one.   Loyola looks very shaky vs zone.

Even as bad as Loyola is playing.....They are in the game because of defense......They are shooting 19%.....

That is why it is imperative that Shaka completely redo the defensive philosophy.....

Slow tempo hurts when you fall behind.  Right, Wisconsin?

That may have been the worst half of basketball in the S16 in the history of the tournament??  16 points for the Ramblers?  1-18 other than Krutwig?  Ouch.

Sure am glad Marquette didn't hire a coach whose team manages only 16 first-half points against a 12 seed.

This type of game was definitely the kind you could have expected on occasion with Moser at Marquette, although Buzz had a few similar games

Defense is fine.   Offense has been completely stymied.

Ethan Thompson is the best player on the floor and the X factor. Loyola getting zero from anyone other than Krutweig.  Talent matters...

In fairness, Shaka's team, filled with NBA prospects, managed 24 points in the second half against a painfully talentless Abilene Christian team that would lose by 100 to UCLA 2 days later.

But yes, Loyola looks horrible on offense. ... Though not as bad as Wally Szczerbiak's hair. What's the deal with that? He land an endorsement deal with Turtle Wax?

ACU held the vaunted Chris Beard and TTU to 51 points in a close loss earlier in the year.   Maybe they aren’t as talentless as you claim and Joe Golding is a good coach who has a system to keep it tight when outgunned

Yep.  Loyola looks done.  Very disappointing.

Given credit to the other team and coach?

On occasion?  I feel it'd be closer to the norm, especially after the Big East becomes familiar with the system.  Moser just doesn't have good offensive players that'd be successful in the Big East.  Big East would adapt quickly.  Oregon St. had time to prepare and they're dominating Loyola.
